Overview

SIUE Faculty-led School of Business Program

Graduate and undergraduate students in the School of Business are invited to apply for the opportunity to participate in the faculty led program to Barcelona and Seville, Spain from late December through the first week of January. This travel study experience will require pre-trip meetings in November and December which will focus attention on the Business environment in Spain and the European Union. The travel period will focus on experiencing the culture in Spain in which business transactions occur. There will be no formal company visits during the travel period due to the holidays. In Barcelona, we will visit architectural sites by the artist Gaudi and other cultural landmarks. Our time in Seville will include visits to historical sites and cultural areas of interest in the surrounding area including an olive farm! More details on sites visited will be available in early fall.
